“Too often in the past, Garrabrant felt, some prosecutors were reluctant to take on complicated cases against pimps. "If I went to any federal prosecutor in the country and said, 'Listen, I have a thirteen-year-old girl who was kidnapped, forcibly taken from her home, and forced to have sex with a forty-year-old guy and then sold to other men,' they would be saying, 'Bring it on.' " But Garrabrant found that if he took the same scenario and instead described the girl as a prostitute working for a pimp, prosecutors got cold feet. Their attitude was that if some young girl wants to go do that, there is nothing to be done.” — Julian Sher
